Biography

Indian Summer Jars is energetic and authentic. “Stirring and earnest without ever straying into the melodramatic,” says Jeff Royer, chief editor of Fly Magazine. Their original music is folksinger/songwriter driven lyrically, but has its roots in blues, bluegrass, and pop rock. A duo formed in 2006, the two Sarah’s “… set off a fireworks display of harmonies over-top of rootsy, often Celtic, undertones.” Since they formed, the duo has recorded two full length albums. The first was an independent release in 2008, “Similar,” and the second project called “Catalyst,” released in 2011, under the label Radio Vibe Records. ISJ has done countless interviews with local and distant press. Worth noting is a radio interview spotlight with Virginia Tech’s ‘Buffalo Bill’ and local podcast with renowned Lancaster promoter and musician, Jason Mundock. Opening up for the Irish band, Altan, at the Carlisle Theatre was a highlight of their 2011 schedule. These women hold their own on a large stage working with a full band as well as in the corner of a local bar. The song “Runaway Train” from Similar received recognition from the Susquehanna Folk Society for the 2008 Singer/Songwriter Showcase.
